Yeah, I doubt you'll see 4K BR support for at least another few years. Xbone Scorpio does/will support 4K UHD only with the upcoming console so at least there's that. Any possibility you'd want to migrate to MS?

I don't think it can support 4K Blu-Ray discs. The hardware isn't in it, from what I've read so far.

It uses the exact same drive from the basic PS4, the only thing they really changed was the motherboard and psu. Most likely it was to keep the PS4 Pro from ending up a repeat of the extremely high PS3 prices, and also maybe not to cannibalize their 4k Bluray player lines.

Xbox One S already has the 4K Blu-Ray Player and upscaler so that's not true. (I think the og X1 BR player is getting updated to support 4K too, but I'm not actually sure if/when.)

But the base hardware is still pretty close to the original so it's not as impressive a gaming machine.

I know that my PS3 games won't be compatible with the PS4, so I'm not concerned about that. And, I don't really play console games because we just have the one TV. If I'm home, my wife is usually home, and she will want to watch something.

She does like Guitar Hero, so she was interested in that.

I've had two Xbone failures. The first was the disc drive died about 3 months out of warranty, and a couple months later the hard drive crashed. It would power on but not detect the internal drive where the system software was. The second one died in-warranty. Controllers couldn't connect either via wireless or USB. As soon as Microsoft replaced it, I sold it on eBay and used the proceeds along with trade-in credit on my PS4 to get the PS4 Pro.

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

That's the first I've heard of anyone having failures. Weird.

Mine will probably be on movie watching duty from here on out...no real need for it otherwise. (My Pro should show up today but I have no idea when/if to expect the guy :/ )___(surprise! it never showed.)

Chicken and egg, but until Redbox starts offering UHD Blu-ray for rental, it doesnt exist as far as I am concerned.

Anyway, i assume Sony has a very good understanding of overall movie industry. I used my PS3 to play Blu-ray movies from Netflix and later Redbox. Where do you get UHD movies? Stuff is still too up in the air.

It's a surprise to me that it's a surprise to you. Microsoft never made reliable console hardware. I went through 2 OG Xboxes, 3 Xbox 360s, and 2 XBones. I can't help it, though - their exclusives have generally been really great. Now that they're doing "plays everywhere" I don't need one. I still have access to Gears of War 4, Halo Wars 2, and Killer Instinct on my PC.

I won't deny the Xbox 360 was **** for reliability, went through several myself. I just hadn't heard of the X1 having issues yet.

(side note: the 360 fared a lot better with aftermarket cooling attachments...haven't felt the need to go there yet on my X1)
